Feminist Rant: Do We Ask Too Much of Women?

Soooo... lately I've been kind of feeling all this pressure as a lady to be awesome and to be my best self and to do whatever society thinks is right... but hold on a second... what does society want from you? Well you have to be pretty, otherwise you're garbage people... but you still have to be equally nice all the time but not too nice to the point where your a pushover. You really need to speak out for yourself, but a lot of times your opinion is wrong because there is a right and wrong opinion. You have to be well educated... but not a nerd. You need to have kids and love them and definitely breastfeed them, otherwise you're a complete monster... even if you can't. You can't really be too dependent on your kids or love them too much otherwise you're a total psycho. You need to wear make up otherwise your ugly, but do a natural look so that you can fool men into being attracted to you. You need to be a feminist, but don't forget about men either becaus...

Women Crush Wednesday:Shannon Kahermanes's List of Most Fascinating Women of 2014

So in response to Barbara Walters 10 Most Fascinating people, I'm doing my own list of the most fascinating women. This is really more than 10 people... but I'm going to combine some of these women, I'm also only talking a little bit about some of them. I don't think I'll really go in any sort of order... but I'm going to save the person I think will end up being HUGE for the last... that way you can see. 11) Jamie Kern Lima- For those of you that don't know, Jamie Kern Lima is the founder of the Makeup Brand It Cosmetics. I only have one product from It Cosmetics... but I really like the message behind the company and I think Jamie has done a great job evolving this brand. It cosmetics works with plastic surgeons so that their make up is great for anti aging, and its made with good ingredients for the skin. It is also a cruelty free brand which I think is really cool. I think this brand was founded a while ago... but this year it became available in all U...

Woman Crush Wednesday- Tina Fey! (100TH POST!!!!!)

This is my 100th post so I figured I'd make this a very long awaited and incredible post about my #1 woman crush and idol the lovely and talented Miss Tina Fey. I love Tina Fey she is brilliant and beautiful and funny. Words cannot describe my admiration for Tina Fey. She's just the best. This may be an uneventful 100th post because idk where to even begin with this... I loved her on SNL, I thought she was super great on Weekend Update and at the time I didn't even know that she was the head writer of the show at the time... that must have been awesome. Except in her book when she describes that guys actually peed in jars instead of going to the bathroom. Watching sketches with her and Amy Poehler together made me realize it's okay to be a funny girl. These two women were "the funny ones" and they were on tv and doing amazing! And I remember watching 30 Rock when it first came on wayyyyy back in the day. I was a Freshman in High School and Arrested Devel...
